THE MUSEUM OF LOST WONDER
Jeff Hoke returns to Los Angeles to exhibit his innovative artwork, his
whimsical artbook, MUSEUM OF LOST WONDER, and his model kits inspired by
his interest in alchemy and more.
The award-winning artist and author Jeff Hoke explores oddities in both
science and mysticism. Using wit, whimsy, and humor, Jeff explores
obscure aspects of history and philosophy to create something fun and
personally relevant to all. His eccentric work in art and print uses the
transformative psychology of alchemy to make them meaningful.
Reviewers have written, “His work is a treasure trove that can be
endlessly explored in search of surprising facts, strange images,
thought-provoking ideas, and exciting experiments. Hoke continually
manages to stimulate the imagination so that nothing is what it seems to
be and everything is enchanted.” Others have expressed that, “Hoke is
inspired by the eclectic museums and curiosity cabinets of the 1600s and
he wants to return us to a time before “science became a belief system
unto itself,” a time when artist-alchemist-scientists were able to
search for inner truth via mystical experiences and experiments without
being ridiculed.”
